Well poop

I grabbed a green-label copy of FFVII on Ebay and it just arrived today. Imgburn refused to rip disc 1. Took it to the local used games store and got the discs cleaned. Still no luck. Dang.

Well you know what you need to do then ;)

Re-sell it on eBay and let the cycle continue?

I'm researching said solutions and other avenues. One easy one is to simply eat the loss (it's just the loss of a good pizza) and retry Ebay. I don't think it's worth going through the hassle of executing a return.

At this point I think you are rightfully entitled to download a working copy of the game. You could keep the damaged copy for your collection. Edit: I own this game at Steam and I am not just encouraging piracy just for the sake of it. But I find unfair to have to buy a game multiple times just to get it to work.

I've used a programme called DVD43, this then enables you to copy protected Disc's. Everything I've thrown at it, it seems to had it well. Google is your Friend.

It's not the protection this time. It's the scratches. I think the disc is simply damaged.
